Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has announced the appointment of Zouhair Mihramane as business development manager (BDM) within its specialist mortgages division.

Mihramane previously worked for One Savings Bank, where he was a BDM covering both Precise and Kent Reliance in the London and South Region for the last two years. Prior to that, he spent 10 years at Lloyds Banking Group, latterly as a BDM for both Scottish Widows and Halifax Intermediaries.

In his new role, he will be responsible for managing broker partners across the South East and will report to Andrea Glasgow, HTB Specialist Mortgages’ sales director.

Mihramane said: “I’m ecstatic to join HTB, a company I’ve kept a close eye on throughout my career.

“I’ve always believed that in our industry, you should ‘treat those like you would like to be treated’, an approach which has brought positivity to both internal and external interactions throughout my career. HTB is an organisation that aligns with this approach, which made it an easy decision to join and build upon the strong results I’ve proven I can deliver.

“It’s incredibly clear that HTB has brokers’ needs at its core, and I’m looking forward to working alongside colleagues to contribute to what is already an award-winning service.”

Glasgow added: “I’m extremely excited to have secured someone of Zouhair’s talent and experience to our team.

“You can’t bake a cake without all the ingredients. Perhaps a cliché, but we have the award-winning service, flexible criteria, and innovative product suite, and are now adding the specialist ingredients to our service with Zouhair’s appointment.

“All these factors, when working together, are a recipe for success and the South East will benefit hugely to have such an experienced BDM in the region.

“HTB’s priority is to always champion experienced landlords, and Zouhair will play a pivotal role in doing just that.”
